Your not being nosey at all:

When my first daughter was coming up2 a year old, me and my hubby decided to try again for another baby, but after 6 months we still hadn't conceived so went to the Drs, who referred me to see a gyne Consultant. I found out I had PCOS (cysts on my ovaries) which makes it difficult to conceive naturally. I was given an appointment to see a Fertility Dr, and on that day I found I was pregnant with Ellie. That scared me thinking I would never have any more children, or to need Fertility treatment. That was the main reason I became a surro Mum....
I joined an organization called C.O.T.S.

I keep in touch with both families of the twins and are good friends. My first couple, they named the little girl after me, her middle name is Catherine, which I was very touched with

I have to say I have soo much respect for you doing this. I would love to think I could do that for someone but I don't think I could in all honesty but thank god there are wonderful people in the world like yourself who could and do do it.

Do you think you will do it again or was this your last time?

Best of luck for everything and soo pleased you get to see them x
Take care
Clara xx

You are a wonderful woman Catherine. The twins are gorgeous. Were they premature? What have their Mummy and Daddy called them?

They were just over 7 weeks early, and their Mummy and Daddy have called them Rhianna and Owen, and they are both gorgeous and so much like their Mummy

Clara I am hoping to do it again, but I have been told to give my body a rest for at least 18 months to 2 years as that was my 5th birth, and 2nd set of twins, which takes it toll, and where the Host surrogacy is done with IVF (using the Mums embryo), they also transfer 2 embryos and both can take (and sometimes lead to triplets ) , I have to be careful, so I will have to wait and see, but never say never. Also I wouldn't want to jepordise my health when I have my own children to consider, but watch this space. I may even have one more self, I would love to try for a little boy, as I have 3 girls.....
